What is Larsen Johansson Syndrome?

Larsen Johansson Syndrome is a condition that affects adolescents, often resulting from repetitive stress on the growth plate at the lower part of the kneecap (patella). This syndrome typically occurs in young athletes who participate in activities that involve frequent jumping, running, or kneeling. Symptoms include pain, tenderness, and swelling at the bottom of the kneecap, which may worsen during physical activity.

Is Your Child Struggling with Knee Pain from Larsen Johansson Syndrome?

Larsen Johansson Syndrome can make daily activities and sports challenging for young athletes, as the knee pain and discomfort may restrict their ability to move freely and participate in activities they enjoy. You may feel concerned about your child’s knee pain and uncertain about how to best support their recovery. With the right approach, your child can manage symptoms, strengthen their knee, and get back to active living.

Larsen Johansson Syndrome is Challenging – But Relief is Possible

Larsen Johansson Syndrome presents unique challenges for growing adolescents:

  • Physical Limitations: Pain, swelling, and tenderness in the knee that interfere with movement, sports, and everyday activities.
  • Emotional Impact: Frustration over restricted activity, concern for long-term recovery, and a desire to participate fully in sports and play.
  • Fairness: Every child deserves access to effective, compassionate care that helps them manage knee pain, support growth, and maintain an active lifestyle.
